Hoops Hammer Gypsies in Massive Dublin Derby

Shamrock Rovers 3- 0 Bohemians

The hoops had gone ahead on 23 minutes from a well taken goal from Dan Murray who was unmarked in the area after Tommy Stewart put a lovely ball in for him and they went into the break with a goal lead. 13 minutes into the second half Rovers were reduced to 10 men after Pat Flynn went through Garreth McGlynn for a shortcut, a straight red was the decision from referee Dave McKeon.

The home side didn’t let that bother them though, and kept pushing for a second and got it on 62 minutes. Gary Twig went sprinting onto a Aidan Price Ball and shot the ball past Barry Murphy to send the home fans into a frenzy, this his 9th goal of the season.

This ground has been a curse for the league champions, indeed they have yet to collect a single point here since this place opened

The introductions of Jason Byrne and Raffael Cretaro did very little for Pat Fenlon and so it proved with minutes to go Billy Dennehy stepped up and slotted home an easy goal and a great finish. Pat Fenlon could only watch on as minute by minute his hopes of retaining for a 3 in a row diminished infront of him.

Shamrock Rovers ended level on points with St Patricks Athletic but Pats have a far superior goal difference, they travel to take on Drogheda while Pat Fenlons men have a home tie with Galway United next Friday

Once again the Final score Shamrock Rovers 3 Bohemians 0.
